Trump tweeting that the media protects Hillary. :lol:

 

Edited to add...

 

Congress is getting notes from Clinton's meeting with FBI regarding Clinton Foundation. The witch hunt continues, I see. 

 

I haven't really been following. What happened with that? A Clinton Foundation official wanted Hillary's senior aides to get a job for someone? There's got to be more to it because I'm pretty sure most people get jobs because they know someone.

 

And that article about Clintons donating to themselves was inaccurate, I assume?

I read some Twitter comments that she's winning them over simply by napping, lol. Trump and now Miller make fun of her napping, which I don't even know if she does everyday, but the comments were like, "We millennials like naps." :lol:

If anyone is baiting, it's Elizabeth Warren and I don't even care. Let her give him a taste of his own medicine.

I can't even. It's not even like his words are open to interpretation. Obama is the founder of ISIS. Literally. Let that be inflammatory. Next day, don't you get sarcasm? Later, obviously, I was being sarcastic but not that sarcastic to be honest with you. Meanwhile, Hillary is the co-founder, no the MVP, no the most improved player of ISIS... What a weirdo.

 

And his 2nd Amendment Comment... If she gets to pick her judges means she's been elected. He wasn't calling for people to vote, he was inciting violence. There's no interpretation there. Now, I realize that Hillary said in 2008 in a newspaper interview (not a rally to crazed supporters) she wasn't dropping out because of what happened to RFK. It was tacky and wrong (and she apologized), but THAT was open to interpretation.

 

He also has people volunteering to be Trump Election Observers and in open-carry states (here is the special card that's goes out: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CpvqefZWcAA3D1T.jpg. Seems like his fanatics will be making sure the "wrong" people don't vote. That can't be legal.

Those people are naive. The GOP will still fight her over the nomination and the media will still do the same. I can see where it might be nice as a courtesy to nominate him and put him on the bench, and I'm sure he'd be a decent justice, but it shouldn't be done to spare a fight. It will also likely depress turnout on the left for 2018.

If she wins, it might be better to put in someone further left to "prove" she is more liberal. I know she was one of the most liberal senators, but too many forget that that. Plus, it'd be an FU to the Republicans. Where's this talk about her putting Obama in coming from? Could you imagine the Republicans reaction to that? Haha. 

 

On a different topic, do we believe this?  Manafort's denying it, obviously, but Ukraine money going into Trump's campaign is plausible. http://www.politicususa.com/2016/08/14/trumps-world-crashes-secret-stash-putin-cash-campaign-manager-uncovered.html

A stray wind depresses turnout on the left.


And yes - Manafort has been a Putin lackey for years. It's absolutely true and Politico and/or the NYT - can't remember which - just picked it up too.

    • Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks 
    • I genuinely thought when they said she had been throwing up, we were going to get a pregnancy story. I’m actually not convinced we aren’t. Especially the way she and Doug danced around her own infidelity.
    • Shouldn't it be the other way? I don't think Taylor Hayes is playing Rebecca Budig.

    • And the most detailed discussion I've seen from an industry figure about some of JFP's worst choices as a producer (steamrolling over writers) was from another woman, Megan McTavish.
    • IMDb is definitely incorrect, because the final week of episodes in 1974 is uploaded to Youtube in audio form, and Mark and Laurie are there until the very end. The last episode shows Mark going back to the priesthood. I looked at the newspaper and the earliest reference to their house being haunted by Georgina is in December of 1973. This is dated Dec 14, but this same synopsis ran in the papers until the end of December in other publications. So it must have been within those last 3-4 months. I think Stephanie Braxton joined around 1969-1970 so that's probably right. I saw it stated in other newspapers that David Gale joined around September 1972.

    • Opal having siblings could add to the story. However, it raises questions about Tad's adoption. Why were the Martins allowed to adopt him if Tad had aunts or uncles who could have cared for him?  Logic limited the number of possible Gardner's (and whatever Opal's maiden name was).  Even though Linda Thorson would have been a hysterical choice given her British accent.  Especially because SOD often published questions by readers who wondered why Tad and Jenny didn't speak like their mother.   All of which is still not an excuse for Tad's evil doppelgänger Ted. 
    • And if I remember correctly, at one point, they were considering having Linda Thorson play Opal's sister.
    • Interesting. Makes me wonder how the day to day looked for Secret Storm at this point in the run. This seems very to deal with the psychological aspect, I guess the "inner storm", and the music is almost sinister. If this is from 1974 there's not much room for dates it could've been from as it ended on February 8th.  It's hard to tell from an edit featuring just one storyline, but if this was the day to day it might've been heavy for the casual viewers.   ETA: Stephanie Braxton is credited to have appeared as Laurie from 1970-1973. David Gale is credited only in 1973 and Alexander Scourby from 1972-1973. I know IMDB isn't always right, but I'd say this is likely 1973 - I'm guessing all these characters exited before 1974 and this might be a part of their final storyline. 
    • Well, they were both involved with Ray Gardner.  Then, the actress left in 1980, only to return as a somewhat broader interpretation of the character after Dottie was SORASed.  By that time, Opal had left in 1983.  So, while they serve the same story function,(verbally abusive/neglectful mothers who make you feel sorry for their daughters), one could argue that Edna was the carbon copy.
